2U Rack Server with 24 Drive Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server fitted with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors at 2.4 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. It ships with three 1.2 TB 7.2K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote management module complete the platform.

Suits Storage-Dense Workloads, Not Maximum Compute

This configuration suits buyers who need up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA bays in 2U for local storage capacity up to 52 TB. It is not for workloads that demand more than two sockets, higher single-thread frequency than 2.4 GHz, or memory beyond the 32 GB installed without purchasing additional DDR4 modules.

Dual-Socket Limit and 52 TB Storage Ceiling

The Intel C610 chipset supports a maximum of two processors, so the system cannot scale beyond the two E5-2630 v3 CPUs provided. The 24-bay chassis caps raw internal capacity at 52 TB, making that figure the deciding constraint for storage-heavy deployments.

Questions about this item

How much DDR4 memory can the R730XD take before the 24 DIMM slots are full?

The system supports up to 1536GB of DDR4 across 24 slots, 12 per processor, with speeds up to 2400MT/s depending on the installed CPUs.

What are the thermal and power characteristics when both 750W redundant supplies run continuously?

Dual 750W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy; the 2U chassis uses internal fans to cool the dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors and up to 24 drives under sustained load.

Which network daughter card is fitted and how many 1GbE ports does it provide?

The included daughter card delivers 4 x 1GbE ports; optional NDC upgrades can add 10GbE connectivity if required.
